Declared November 22, 2006
This Art Deco style apartment building was
constructed in 1929 by its first owner, Charles R. Miller from a design by the
Arthur C. Wright Company. The structure is an excellent example of the Art
Deco style that was built in Los Angeles from the early 1920's thru the
beginning of World War II. The well maintained building retains a high
degree of integrity both in its exterior and interior areas. Charles R.
Miller appears to have been a local developer. The Arthur C. Wright
Company was one of a number of design-build construction companies that appear
in Southern California during the early 20th Century. Some of these
companies, such as the Milwaukee Building Company, are considered as important
to design history as some of the best of the period architects. Many of
the larger companies had in-house architects that did their designs.
Arthur C. Wright had his business in Los Angeles from 1922 until his death in
1977.
